I "POaST" about my Life --- 1962 ...

I now live in Arizona....

One of the very few FAMILY pics I have with all of us in it 1962 a family vaca to Mexico the only vacation I know of that we all went on, and it was probably just a day trip or maybe a weekend to the border town El Paso!

When we first moved to Arizona Judyann was complaining that she didn't want to go to church with strangers!
I of course responded to her positively cuz I like people so much with the comment;  "strangers are just people we haven't met yet!"  I am pretty surprised at my outgoingness when I was young!  Daddy was barbering at Luke Air Force Base and Mom quickly got a job at Willis Linen Supply.

The Fashion!

One day in Day Care I fell off the merry go around and was sent to the Hospital diagnosed with Acute Hepatitis.  I was unconscious for 24 hours. The doctors and nurses were surprised when I was cheerful as soon as I woke up.  Mom says I told them "thank you for helping me" immediately!!!

In March Timmy came home from Fort Bragg.  He was headed out to Language school in California down by San Diego his first step to being a Green Beret.
